I was looking at the box for the new tank instore yesterday, and i noticed that on the front picture, the heavy bolter has been glued upside down.
Has anybody else noticed this?
Strangely the pic on GW's website has it the right way up, photoshopping perhaps?

yeah,
I suspect it'll be fixed by the second printing.

I wonder if this will make first edition Leman Russes a collectors edition?

What's more interesting is the lack of a Vehicle Assessory Sprue, like the Russ has.

Ah yes but that is intentional, I can imagine GW phasing them out of the IG tank boxes as they get replaced and just selling it via direct sales.

Since the bolter is backwards, does that mean it will actually hit using an Imp's BS?

The Hvy bolter is upside down on the front, Plasma cannons(sponson) and flamers are upside down on the back, and whats with the GIANT paint globbed crack on the front of the tank? Seriously GW great sculpts and love the plastics but where is your gold standard in modeling you used to have? Its disapointing really.....

Oh well I was hoping the error was the £30 price tag.....

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Yes, don't worry, I'm sure GW have this in hand and will "correct" the price to £40 by the end of the year.

Yes and a NIB sealed one will increase in value by $5, after the next price hike

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......
